Effective way to get information into brain

• Use more senses
• Reduce load on short term memory
• Remember the protocol when revisiting it later
• Reduce initial information overload

Overview of protocol

• See complexity
• Recognize patterns
• Spot inconsistencies

Flexible

• Start with incomplete code
• Print and write on paper
• Develop top down

Start by downloading and opening the template in Powerpoint.

• copy a (blue) box for each smart contract;
• in multi chain protocols (e.g. bridges) copy purple boxes for each chain;
• add nested blue boxed, with increasingly darker blue for inherited contracts and used libraries;
• copy yellow boxes for each external (dark yellow) / internal (dotted line) / view (light yellow ) function;
• draw arrows from each function to all contracts/functions it calls;
• use yellow/transparant boxes to cluster/group functions, for example with the same modifier;
• simplify and reduce crossing lines by connecting arrows to clusters and by rearranging boxes;
• optionally add dark purple boxes for storage variables;
• optionally add fat dotted lines for token flows;
• create as many pages as useful.
